    brilliant school, new headteacher has made this school astonishing.Good on him.But also the…read moreteachers are amazin, kind hearted and just sweet souls.

    I attended a Catholic Volutary Aided State School between the ages 16-18 at St. Edward's College…read more6th Form, Sandfield Park to study my A-Levels. During my time there, I literally studied till I dropped! By word of mouth, I heard that I was attending one of the top Schools in Liverpool, so I had to brace myself for the amount of home work and extra activities I was involved in. This did put me under a lot of pressure as stress levels were inevitibly high during those years. However, if it had not been for St. Eddie's (as some call it), I would probably not have achieved my full potential. The School is located in quite a peaceful surrounding and when you enter the site, it has this classic School look about it with long corridors, a huge playing field and even a swimming pool (which was a bonus). The 6th Form building is pleasantly decorated in a building of heritage that the School has preserved. Its interior walls are painted in lovely pink too! Each classroom in the Upper School fits an average of 20 pupils and they have a wide range of facilites to benefit from, throughout the institution. There are also a couple of common rooms where you can eat and chat to friends in a controlled environment. If you are a parent and have a child or you are of the post-16 criteria, look no further than St. Edward's College.

    I went to Bury Grammar Girls school for 5 years and it really has its ups and downs. What I can say…read moreis that you will get a good education and work ethic from going there, which i suppose is what you pay for. But honestly, since starting public college, it turns out those great GCSEs I got don't seem to matter at all, it doesn't mean anything if you have 9s on your CV, useless for the working world. I was on a bursary, from a working class background, and I found it very difficult going to school with so many right wing middle class people. People tend to think you're made of money, you feel pressured to wear designer clothes and show up in a nice car. Being a girls school, it's also very bitchy. Some of the teachers are really lovely and care about the students, but others, especially the ones in higher up positions, can be extremely harsh and strict. I was quite outspoken in highschool, being one of the worst behaved despite my behaviour only being bad enough to earn me one detention the whole time I was there. The school really is pretentious, their main concern is grades and money, they don't seem to care about the pressure students are under and in fact add more. From what I've heard the sixth form is awful and just like highschool, unless of course you're one of the popular rich kids. The atmosphere is judgemental and focussed so much more on what you have rather than who you are. One of the girls I know who previously attended said she went to a teacher for help when she was having very bad problems at home, ones which I've seen really affect her self esteem and self worth. She once overheard a teacher on the phone to social services saying 'she seems to think we can help but she's going to have to deal with it we don't have a magic wand'. Another extremely bright and hardworking girl I knew went there for over 10 years and got kicked out when her parents lost her job, had to go to a different highschool in her last year. They don't tell you what goes on behind the scenes, they just wave their swan flags and have you hold a balloon with the 9 from your GCSE's on it. I wouldn't reccomend it purely for ethical reasons. Send your child somewhere where they will feel equal and they'll be treated like a person, not a test score. BRGS is a great choice as it's a free grammar school that you have to pass a test for, meaning it's less money focussed and more intelligence focused. In fact, the majority of high schools are good if you just have a good work ethic and want to do well rather than paying 12 grand a year for someone to force you to work because you can't be bothered in the first place. For a lot of people, hard work is the only thing that can get them places, and I am grateful that I don't have the fed-by-a-silver-spoon mentality.

    My daughter is in year 7 at the Bury Grammar School Girls. It is an expensive option, once you…read morefactor in all the extra's you are looking at fees of £10,000 a year. We are lucky we recieved an inheritance and this is how we afforded it. The state schools were a poor choice and we felt this was our only option. The education she is now receiving is first class. The quality of teaching is thorough and importantly she has made some good friends who I think she will know for life. It is well served by local transport links and has many school buses. Academically, it does extremely well and I am sure my daughter will receive an education that will equip her for life. The teachers and staff are quick to respond to any queries and complaints and it has fantastic facilities and books. Importantly the girls are given confidence and taught how to give back to the community. I know it is not a choice for everyone - we were lucky - but for anyone considering it, I think it has been worth every penny!
